The blurb on the dust-cover of this book claims that it states an important new principle and, hence, that it is important. It aims at integrating in mathematical terms, the physical and psychological sides of science, for which purpose it includes a purely mathematical appendix on the "reversed loop". Presumably, there are people who are able to see how the writers work out their thesis. But t...

We used Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to simultaneously measure brain activity in two people while they played a computer-based cooperation game side by side. Inter-brain activity coherence was calculated between the two participants. We found that the coherence between signals generated by participants‟ right superior frontal cortices increased during cooperation, but not during competitio...

Frankland, Sims Woodhead, and Edward Klein. Not surprisingly, the attempt to reduce the Victorian ideological maze to order results in omissions: the moral dimension, considered elsewhere by Christopher Hamlin, is lacking; as also is reference to the wider scientific context. Neither Justus von Liebig nor Robert Koch, both influential figures in this context, receives a mention. Part Two, which...

Perception and decision rely on internal models of the world. In primary sensory areas of cortex, joint activity of neural populations likely represents the statistical structure of the external environment. Unknown is whether internal neural models are a general computational principle of cortex, extending to learning, higher-order cortices, and actions. We tested that generality by examining ...
